"Uncle Lu, Aunt Yun, congratulations on Jiayan's successful surgery and recovery." He Lijuan took the lead, hoping that Lu Sen and Yun Ping would not make things too difficult for her family out of consideration for her being a younger generation.
"Lu Sen, long time no see." He Guoqiang walked up to Lu Sen and gave him a forced smile.
Upon seeing He Guoqiang's family, Lu Sen's smile gradually faded.
He didn't say anything, and the two stared at each other.
He Guoqiang is really shameless. He came here with no shame this time, probably because he wants to make up.
This was the idea of An Wan and the six brothers, Lu Jingxing.
Yunping didn't speak first, not wanting to lose face for her family and lest the He family think she had a good temper and bully her family again.
The He family had a huge falling out with us not long ago and had cut off all contact, but now they're shamelessly coming back.
Seeing Yunping and Lusen's reactions, He Lijuan felt a chill in her heart.
She was very worried that the Lu family would give up this time and not forgive her family.
Hopefully, her parents will say some nice things about her.
"Yunping, it's been a long time! Congratulations to Jingxing on passing the college entrance examination with flying colors and achieving great success."
After a brief pause, the smile on He's mother's face brightened again.
She greeted Yunping first, then followed up with An Wan and the six Lu brothers. "Wanwan, Jingxing, you've been doing well lately, haven't you? Your rosy cheeks tell me you're having a wonderful time."
"Yes! We're busy running the shop, working from morning till night. Business is booming, we're making so much money our hands are sore. When people are happy, they feel good, and their faces are rosy."
Since Yunping and Lu Jingxing's brothers were difficult to talk to, An Wan didn't hold back and confronted He's mother.
Niu Ahong got angry when she saw He's mother and her family, and directly confronted them: "What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were cutting ties? I've already returned the money to you, including interest, so I don't owe your He family anything."
“My husband was just too angry last time, that’s why he said those things in anger, please don’t hold it against him! Yunping, Lu Sen, you’ve known my husband for decades, don’t you know his temper?”
“He was just saying it in anger, please don’t take it to heart. However, we are sorry. We’ve wanted to apologize to you before, but we haven’t had a suitable opportunity. Today, I’m here because I want us to make up and continue being good friends.”
Mrs. He chuckled awkwardly; after being rebuked twice in a row, she could no longer maintain her smile.
“We don’t know anything about that! All we know is that you used the debt to threaten Yunping’s family when they were in the most difficult time, forcing the eldest son to marry your daughter. That’s not a very good thing to do.”
Yunping and Lusen ignoring He's mother was a way of giving the He family face.
But Niu Ahong wouldn't tolerate the He family's behavior.
He Guoqiang's face flushed red, then turned black, then red again. "Shut up! Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak!"
The He family was considered one of the wealthiest families in Lujia Village, owning a small villa and a car.
What does Niu Ahong's family have?
"Dad—" Her father's behavior startled He Lijuan, her heart pounding. She stopped He Guoqiang while stealing a glance at Lu Jingxing.
He's not angry anymore, is he?
"You're a piece of trash! How dare you insult my wife, I'll beat you to death!" Lu Guochang rushed out and punched He Guoqiang.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone scold his wife like that. How could he, a devoted husband, not be angry?
Without thinking, he rushed over and attacked He Guoqiang.
"Those despicable He family members!" He Yurou gritted her teeth, wishing she could devour He Guoqiang's entire family.
Especially that girl named He Lijuan, who dared to force Lu Jingxing to become a live-in son-in-law, who does she think she is?
Is he someone she can even dream of?
Hmph! A toad trying to eat swan meat!
"Who are they? Why are they forcing Lu Jingxing to marry that girl?" Jiang Wanruo, who had been watching the commotion from behind the Lu family, couldn't help but ask He Yurou.
“They are a very bad family. A month ago, Jingxing’s family was hit by a flood and their house collapsed. The He family came and forced Jingxing to become a live-in son-in-law so that they could offset the more than 3,000 yuan they owed before.”
He Yurou whispered in Jiang Wanruo's ear, her eyes glancing at Lu Jingxing, who had a cold and calm expression.
No man in this world would want to be a live-in son-in-law.
Even if she said those four words now, he probably wouldn't feel comfortable.
So she had to speak softly, so he wouldn't hear her.
"What? A live-in son-in-law?" Jiang Wanruo exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth to avoid being heard.
Fortunately, there were too many people and too much chatter at the scene, so her voice couldn't be heard at all.
"Keep your voice down, you're going to kill me!" He Yurou hurriedly covered Jiang Wanruo's mouth.
Annoyed, He Sichen helped Old Master He into the house.
Men aren't interested in that kind of thing.
Jiang Wanruo shut her mouth, her curious gaze secretly drifting towards Lu Jingxing.
She heard that he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
He was actually forced into marriage, and even became a live-in son-in-law.
However, his family was indeed very poor. Although they had just opened a pastry shop in the county town and business had been quite good for the past three days, they were still living in a rented room.
Old houses in rural areas also collapsed due to the floods.
How miserable!
No wonder the He family wanted him to be their son-in-law; besides his outstanding looks and physique, he also had a smart brain and excellent academic performance.
The rest is really nothing to boast about; no car, no house, and six younger siblings to support.
My father has broken both legs and is in a wheelchair; he will need to recuperate for another month or two.
His fourth brother was terminally ill and needed to go abroad for surgery, so he borrowed another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from He Sichen.
My fifth brother is mentally challenged and needs to be taken care of his whole life.
"Stop!" Lu Sen shouted.
Niu Ahong also quickly stopped Lu Guochang.
